Do you have a source for the trivia you added to the regex golf explanation? I can't find his mention of it. Also, What If 78 was posted Tuesday (today), which is the day after the comic was published, it is currently impossible for you to know which What If will be published next week (unless you know Randall ;p).

Hey

Hey SlashMe,

Just wanted to say; wasn't trying to ignore you or anything. I created the new template well before I figured out where to actually look for discussions on the thing. I only noticed the discussions after I'd already created the thing and posted for discussion. Cheers. TheHYPO (talk) 19:12, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

No problem. I'm about to reply on Jeff's talk page. --SlashMe (talk) 19:13, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
Do you have any form of instant messenger? It would be easier to talk the changes through instantly than through piles of comments TheHYPO (talk) 19:25, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Yes, but not todaytonight. 1:27 AM in Germany. Good night... --SlashMe (talk) 19:27, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Cheers. Have a good night. I guess I'll reply on the main page, that you can pick up in the morning. I'll be unavailable much of tomorrow. TheHYPO (talk) 19:29, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Talkback

New message for you on my talk page. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 20:43, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Please watch Explain XKCD:Community portal/Administrators' noticeboard

I'd like to ask that the admins consider adding Explain XKCD:Community portal/Administrators' noticeboard to their watchlists. On a similar note, I've just started a discussion there about spammers. -Philosopher Let us reason together. 02:02, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Comic template

Hey,

Back after a weekend, and I'm getting kind of lost and confused with where discussions are going on, as a lot of conversations appear to have moved. Just want to check in on where we are with the comic template discussion. TheHYPO (talk) 13:59, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Well, my discussion was moved to explain xkcd:Community portal/Proposals#Automatic Import, but the main discussion is at explain xkcd:Community portal/Proposals#Header template. I haven't received much feedback and since more and more comics are created manually using {{comic}}, I don't know if it still makes sense to start an import. I don't think I can reuse existing pages, so the explanations would have to be moved to the new pages. --SlashMe (talk) 16:50, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

User:SlashMe/Testpage

We seem to have settled on template:comic for all comic pages. May we have permission to remove User:SlashMe/Testpage and all associated templates and categories? There's quite a few legacy templates that are only used in User:SlashMe/Testpage, and it'd be nice if we could clear them out. Davidy²²[talk] 01:50, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, feel free to do so --SlashMe (talk) 09:25, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Bot for time

It's bad when you are doing wrong uploads. I'm using several sources to get this files, but when I'm downloading the files from here my script will not do so unless I delete them manually at my local folder. I can help because I think we do need a more reliable bot here. And my machine is online at 24/7. I'm trying to help you, but if this does not work I will start a bot by myself. --Dgbrt (talk) 22:48, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

The problem is not really the bot, but the wiki. Sometimes, when the server is overloaded, it won't respond to api requests. I'm using python with mwclient, and I haven't found a way to specify a timeout yet. --SlashMe (talk) 10:14, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Regex Golf Trivia

Do you have a source for the trivia you added to the regex golf explanation? I can't find his mention of it. Also, What If 78 was posted Tuesday (today), which is the day after the comic was published, it is currently impossible for you to know which What If will be published next week (unless you know Randall ;p). lcarsos_a (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
